What do you think will happen if someone from the Other World gets stabbed by a knife? Will it affect them? Will they bleed? What do you think will happen if someone stays for so long in the Other World? This is Episode 5: Can you last in the Other World? of my original anime project.

[ Scene 1: At home ] ‒ Time: (Past) 12: 30 am

Daichi pulls out a knife: "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Kaito stands up while holding popcorn: "A visitor. Nice."

Daichi tries to stab him, but Kaito dodges.

Kaito: "Calm down. I am not here to—"

tries to stab him again, but Kaito holds the knife with both hands, causing it to bleed but strangely healing fast: "Stop!" Kaito pulls the knife, breaks it, and throws it away: "I am Akari's friend!"

Kenji, confused: "Wait... how did you heal that fast?"

Kaito: "In this world, knives aren't really what you should be scared of..."

Kenji: "What do you mean?"

Kaito with dark expressions: "What you should worry about...is how much you will last!"

[ Scene 2: The crime scene (from episode 1) ] - Time: (Present) - 9/6/2025 - 12: 30 pm

Hikari: "So here is where that incident you talked about happened."

Akari: "Yes. There is not much blood here."

Hikari: "Whoever was the victim who disappeared... he's still alive. The amount of blood on the ground isn't enough to die."

Akari: "I know. We should go to the police station and ask about the sample of blood they took. We can use it as a clue to find the victim."

Hikari: "lets go."

[ Scene 3: At the police station ] - Time: (Present) 12: 45 pm

cop1: "Oh..after analyzing the samples of blood, we got strange results; we couldn't find someone who had such blood."

Akari walks away while Hikari follows him

Hikari: "What does that mean?"

Akari, with a low but sharp voice: "It sounds like what I expected is true. Whoever glitches out of this world, everything related to him just disappears."

Hikari smugs: "Oh yeah, by the way, what happened to that friend you had?"

Akari: "What?"

Hikari confused: "That friend we left his house hours ago."

Akari remembers: "Ohhh.." in shock, "Oh no! I am starting to forget!" With a serious tone, "We need to rush! At this rate, I won't be able to solve this case!"

then starts walking faster

Hikari: "Where are we going?"

Akari pauses for a moment in silence

Hikari: "Akari-kun? Are you alright?"

Akari: "Hey...did you actually get to see your parents?"

Hikari hesitant: "Wh.what do you mean, Akari-kun? I..I obviously did."

Akari: "Stop hiding it. Your face was pale when I mentioned the visit."

Hikari: "I guess I can't hide it from a smart detective like you..." her face goes pale "...They disappeared from home. And when I asked the neighbors, they said "there was no one living here""

Akari: "Then?"

Hikari: "I started investigating this and...while I was watching the news..."

flashback:

>>>>>>>>>

T.V. News: "yesterday around midnight, someone got hit by a car, the cops found who hit the victim..but never found the victim!"

Akari in the background looking around at the crime scene

"...I saw you there and thought of that you may help finding out, what's going on"

Akari: "I see...then why not visit your parents' place, I wanna check it out"

Hikari: "sure."

[ Scene 4: At home ] - Time: (Past) 9/6/2025 :- 12:40 am - 12 hours ago.

Kenji curiously: "What do you mean?"

Kaito: "In this world, the longer you stay the more you start vanishing from the "Remembered World", and if you totally vanish, you can never get back to be remembered again."

Kenji: "wait...so there is a way to get back to the "Remembered World", right?"

Kaito: "There is..I am Kaito Shiranami. And I am going to help you finding out how to get back to the "Remembered World""

[ Scene 5: Hikari's parents' house ] - Time: (Present) 2:00 pm

The house is clean and neat. Akari starts looking around for clues in the house, then he finds a computer but locked with a password.

Akari: "Hey, Hikari! Do you know the password?"

Hikari: "and how would I know?"

Akari: "That just makes it harder."

Akari finds some sticky notes on the back of the computer.

Akari: "hey, do your parents have some type of "Dementia"?"

Hikari: "Oh..I think my father forgets stuff faster than normal. I guess its because of age"

Akari jokes: "did you ever hear this quote before? "Those who forget too quickly, get forgotten too quickly as well""

Hikari chuckles: "No, I didn't hear about it and I think the person who said it up didn't hear about it himself"

Akari: "Your father probably writes the password of the computer on a note"

Hikari: "and where can we find this note?"

Akari looking around the computer: "its probably somewhere visible since if he hid it he wouldn't remember where it is as well..."

Akari scans the desk, notices dust marks on the keyboard, lifts it, and finds the sticky note underneath..
